Aims: To introduce students to the concepts of limit state design and its practical application to a variety of construction materials, including reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete, steel, timber and masonry. To further enable students to integrate analytical and conceptual understanding of structural action with material selection through producing creative and competent designs.

Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit, the student will be able to:
* Demonstrate their understanding on the knowledge and the concepts of limit state design in the design procedure
* Integrating material selection in the design procedure
* Producing a design scheme to implement their analytical and conceptual understandings of structural design, explain their material selection, and analyse the benefit and/or limitation of the construction technology in the scheme.
